Program a Reddit Bot - Python

Ever wanted to program a Reddit bot in Python?

In this tutorial we are creating a Reddit bot using python 3. We will cover how to do several functions using praw, the Python Reddit API Wrapper, to create our python bot. This will allow us to use Python to read data from Reddit. Using built in functions and methods of the wrapper we will also post to comments. This will be a start to finish tutorial including setting up your Reddit account and creating keys for your Python program.

Please enjoy our Reddit bot guide!

From all videos that I have seen this is the easiest to understand and follow. I finally made my first reddit bot thanks to you.

However I am trying to make it to post to more than 1 sub and I cannot make it work. Can I get some help ?

Thanks

8 minutes in and I must say thank you for specifying the use of documentation. As someone who is just beginning python, it helps a lot to be reminded that a lot of questions can be answered just by looking at the documentation.

Out of all the coding videos ive tried to learn from and never understood anything from, why is the one of reddit bots the only one where I can kind of tell what some the lines mean, great job formatting and explaining this

This is great. Your Video has made it mutch more easy for me to learn how to program using Python, since it is application based. Tysm for that.

Thank you. Super clear. Will you keep making these Reddit/APIs videos? You should!
Thanks again, very useful.

This still works, just had to use conda install -c conda-forge praw where this tutorial says to use pip.
